Check out the Enigmas of Hayling Island

Filed under: ATBs, MTBs, etc., Adventure Stuff, School of Travel — admin @ 1:29 pm

There are a variety of ways in which you may enjoy the handsome scenery of Hayling Island. You may either walk or cycle.

Enjoy a variety of walks with the Hayling Island group taking in the beautiful sea views.

This isn’t a sort of group to challenge the experienced or super fit walkers - it is more of a beginner class

The longer walk enables those who enjoy a slightly faster paced saunter to enjoy the Hayling coastline whilst socialising with allies.

Share a morning promenade with allies taking in the fresh sea air and ever changing environment, returning for refreshments.
This is mainly a flat route. There are two short hills at the Rowlands Castle end of the route. The majority of the route is on cycle path, but 3 short sections are on road:
1. from The Recreation Ground, The Fairway, Rowlands Castle to the bottom of the hill in Durrants Road
2. the section of road between Langstone Road and Langstone Bridge on to Hayling Island. The pavements on both sides of Langstone Bridge (only) are cycle paths.
3. the southern loop of Staunton Ave, Sea Front and Sinah Lane.

The Hayling Billy Coastal Track is made from jammed scalpings, with a top dressing, there is a little of tarmac and a spot of concrete and it may be a bit lumpy in places. Almost all road bikes will cope but mountain bikes are better suited ” I pedalled the route on a mountain bike with slick road tyres and I was O.k.. There are spots where some would opt to walk but these points are few and far between and very short ” bearing in mind I pedaled the route the day following torrential downpours which pulled leaves off trees etc. a few pools about but on the whole it was pretty well drained.

If you want to know about a wonderful place to stay on Hayling Island then you should consider Cockle Warren. It’s a gorgeous little Hayling Island bed and breakfast place that you would do well to choose

If you are buying, new most dealers will probably take your current bike as a trade-in. There are several different services around to help you determine what your bike is worth so make sure that you have checked this out before you start negotiating a price.

One of the best ways is to sell your motorcycle is on eBay. It is becoming immensely popular, and they offer a great service by allowing you to auction off your bike. A good clear picture is necessary, and make sure that you look at comparable bikes that have been bought and sold to get ideas. Of course remember to let all of your friends know as well that you are selling your bike, as someone may take an interest and purchase it from you.

Another great way to sell your motorbike, especially if you belong a motorcycle club is to make an announcement that it is for sale. Remember to get listed in the club newsletter and spread the word around. You may get a fast sale, since everyone will know you from the club. Some dealers will also take your bike on consignment and charge a small commission to sell it on your behalf. They will also make it known to others that they have your bike for sale. Remember to write a good newspaper ad that will stand out, and there are also many great web sites that offer want ads for motorcycles. You may want to list your motorcycle for sale on various forums throughout the Internet, too.
